Broken things can be fixed.  The bible shows us that we are broken people living in a broken world; that our spirits, our minds, our relationships can never be what they should be unless God does something to put things right again.   So how can all this—and us—be fixed? That is what we find in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians:  What God has done and what He is doing to put everything—and us—right.

CRAZY LOVE
College and Young Adults

Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts — it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, you will never be the same. Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Celebrate Recovery
Anyone
Friday evenings – Ongoing
We want others to think we have everything “under control.”  The truth is, whatever you can’t talk about is already out of control in your life; problems with your finances, marriage, kids, thoughts, sexuality, secret habits, spending, or anything else. What are you pretending isn’t a problem in your life? What are you afraid to talk about?  YOU ARE NOT ALONE—Celebrate Recovery is here to help you. If you are ready to take your first step toward freedom from your hurts, habits or hang-ups, come to Celebrate Recovery. The people there will not judge you, but give you unconditional love.

More information: CelebrateRecovery@riverbluff.org

Celebration Station
Kids ages 5—13 with a responsible parent/adult attending Celebrate Recovery
Friday evenings – Ongoing

Celebration Station is a 52-week program that mirrors Celebrate Recovery’s one-year large group teaching schedule and curriculum plan.  When adults are talking about a topic such as action, kids are learning about the same topic at an age-appropriate level. Each weekly lesson follows a two-hour schedule that includes free play, worship, teaching, and small group time. There are also three “centers” that consist of Teaching, Crafts, Games or other Instructional Bible Study.

More information is available in the Ministry Center at the Celebrate Recovery Kiosk.

The first teaching of Jesus in Mark’s Gospel was The Kingdom of God. Entry into the Kingdom and life in the Kingdom consists of repenting and believing, changing the old ways for God’s ways. In these days it  is learning a new way of life that is actually counter-cultural. Christianity is not a sub-culture but a counter culture.

We will study the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7, to look at the ways of the culture compared to the ways of the Kingdom. Hopefully we will “put off” the ways of the culture that do not line up with Kingdom ways; and “put on” the Kingdom ways.

Join us Sundays at 9:30 or 11.

God has sustained me through a very difficult time. The awakening has helped me to pray for unsaved loved ones.

He has shown me how important bible study is, how important my family is, how important my role in my family is and I couldn’t do anything day to day without him.

What has God done in my life lately?  I honestly don’t know!! But I want to know!!

God has brought my wife back and set her next to me in this church. Singing his praises.  Thank you.

I really wanted to share. I teach in a public school and one of my students raised his hand and called me over during seat work. I walked over to him and he said “you know I can’t stay mad in your class!” “You correct me and I can’t stay mad!” “Why?” I leaned in to him and told him “I believe in God!” He smiled so big and said “I knew it, I knew it! Me too!”  My heart melted. We are not suppose to share our beliefs in the public school system but let me tell you God told me to tell him that is why he could relax in my classroom and did not have to stay angry.  I have been moved to realize that God is guiding me every day. I pray to him to help me and guide me every day. I pray for him to give me the right words to teach and lead these students and be the best teacher I can be and he let that student raise his hand to say to me (see I’m doing it! – You are asking me and I’m doing!)  You may not notice it every day but keep believing! Believe me, I believe! God shows me everyday he’s there for me but WOW!  Things like this happen to me often but I wanted to share this one. Go God!  I know I couldn’t do anything with him!

Entering the 21 days I prayed God would open the eyes of my heart. I wasn’t sure where he would direct me. To my great surprise “I” was His chosen person He wanted me to work on. I’ve always considered myself as helpful, kind, giving. I have many areas I feeI I lack but also feel I try to give my heart to god and to do whatever I feel he impresses on me. This, however, was not where I found He wanted me to focus. I grew up in a legalistic Baptist Church, a very large one. “All should come before you” was a driving message. I grew up “doing” for others but never feeling I was enough or more important “worth it”. I then had a failed marriage and it fed the lie I felt about myself. I was broken hearted. I “recovered”, set a good example of Christian charity and forgiveness for my children, but have just realized I still believed that lie. I don’t feel beautiful or wonderfully created.  When my ex left me I was sure I’d come through it, but I was certain I would be alone forever. After all who would want someone like me with so many faults and children. Once again amazed by God – He had someone who loved me for me! Someone who saw me as He did! I felt overjoyed beyond words. Over our romance and then marriage, my new found husband’s love is constant and unconditional…like God’s.  Over the 21 days God has spoken to me and made it clear to use me fully I have to let go of this belief that I am unworthy of being loved, honored and respected. How can I witness for the Kingdom till that promise is in my heart?

The Journey – Satan has been full time since the break and the weeks I have missed; moving and truly and fully combining households; hopeful God helps me come out of this depression; help with healing

18 years ago I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. At this time I was also an active alcoholic. I was angry with God and asked Him why did He “forsake: me – I heard the Holy Spirit loud and clear say to me – I didn’t go anywhere, I am still here. I reported that night for surgery for the next day. Doctors couldn’t find any cancer. It was also my last drink, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to a hunger and a passion for God’s word and as I studied, I read, I learned that Jesus said “hold my hand tightly so when you stumble, you will not fall” He has been faithful as He promised. In November I celebrate 18 years of sobriety and 18 years of my new life. I have had many obstacles, lost family members and struggled but I have never been alone. I have grown and learned to lean on God. Today I am a new creation and He uses me to reach and teach others. I thank God for pulling me out of the pit of hell, for my new life and for my opportunity to serve. I believe that if you don’t use your bad and painful experiences they were for nothing. I thank God every day that I don’t “mine”, that I don’t get what I deserve – I get God’s mercy and that is enough for me.

God reminds me at this time to step out and live a life with risk; to take chances/opportunities and even great adventures for Him and for expanding His influence to the uttermost.

I give up my selfish desires. I give up my addictions to honor the Lord and my wife and family. I will lift them up and be the husband and leader of my household and lead my family to God.

He has opened my eyes to an emptiness in my life. I have been a Christian forever almost. 40 years and I am not 40 years closer to God. Now is the time to grow my relationship. Thank you for this time our church family has taken.

The Spiritual survey was an awakening for me!  I was convicted of my lack of personal God time. I have decided to start a “God Journal”. I pray for self discipline of which I lack.  But I know God will walk with me in this journey. I know my life is so much better when I have constant contact.  I want to honor God through my actions.

God is calling me to a time of prayer every day.

He has shown me the wonderful things He has given me and shown me how to appreciate them and how blessed I am.

God has given me a peace of mind and shown me how to love my family more than ever.

God has opened my eyes to lost souls that I know. I now have a burden to pray for these people. I have been using the prayer from the link on the emails.  I read each line and say each person’s name, every day.  Now I’m praying that God will teach me how to witness to these people.

In the past 21 days God has given me more patience.  This is something I need to work on.

God is reminding me that everything I have has been given to me by God.  He is calling me into a deeper relationship with Him.

Found a new church; God Blessed; Got a new job!

God has blessed me.  Family, friends, health, a Godly set of parents, a wonderful life, this church, a home, a job

He’s taught me that he is forever constant, consistent and forever on my side. He has provided for me what I’ve needed in my life in all areas. I just wished that I had recognized that at the time and after. But I do praise Him now for it.

God is helping me to see people as He sees them.

God has brought me to South Carolina where I have found a community rich in the love of Jesus Christ. God has answered so many of my prayers for others in need.  God has provided for everything ever day in my job my family, my heart. God has helped me find many ways to help.

A deeper desire to reach those who don’t yet know Jesus and once they do, to help them grow into a relationship with Him.

I believe He has called me to care for my mom till He calls her home.

I have been trying to get my friend to come to church with me but she keeps putting it off. I am going to keep trying because I know that God is there to help me.

God is healing my relationship with my dad.

Need to change

God continues to give me opportunities to minister to people and to lead them to Christ.  Thank you God for continuing to give me opportunities to share Jesus’ love with others.

God has been stretching me and teaching me. I am in the Military and have been out of town for the last two weeks taking classes learning how to instruct students. I don’t do well in school which makes me rely solely on God to get through the classes and he continues to amaze me at what he gets me through. I had never given a speech in front of anyone before. I was so nervous but I gave it to God and told Him I couldn’t do it. He took all my nerves away and gave me a peace through the whole thing. It amazes me how He works.

I really felt God telling me I needed to spend more time devoted to my family. I took some time off from my ministries preparing for whatever was coming. Soon after my spouse started stuggling with something and withdrawing a little, and I just didn’t know how to help. If I had not listened to God and made time for this I would have reacted like my spouse was selfish and getting in my way. Instead I went to God who led me to Ephesians. I realized I can’t expect my spouse to love me and show me love if there is no love for who they are. I am putting my love needs aside (letting God fill it for now) and I am committing to help my spouse. Just since making this choice our marriage is growing. If God had not prepared me ahead of time, this would have ended in disaster.

Thank you for all the things you give and do for me. I pray to please help me do better. Love my husband more every day. Forgive me for all my sin and give me strength, continue to bless me and my family. Love you Lord.

God has helped me to accept changes taking place in my life and career.

God has been teaching me to put Him first and to get back into regularly reading His word. I have not been doing this as I should have been.

God has been working in my life by:  giving me a beautiful family, a roof over my head and a job so I can support my family.

God has done more in my life than I deserve!

I ask God to forgive me for putting other things before fasting or made a commitment to Christ. God has reminded me of my purpose. If you are reading this please pray that God will give me the courage to trust and follow him and put Him first in my life.

God has been showing me that I am not devoted to praying for lost people I know and encounter… So I have been praying diligently for several people.  Today, one of those I have prayed for gave his life to Christ!  Praise God!

Lord has been showing me to be in His presence. To practice His presence at all times. O Lord let it be so.

God has removed Facebook from my family. God has shown me His light and shown me that my life has value, and it is not all my fault. God has broken my dependence on caffeine (soda). God has shown himself in every aspect of my life.

God has been working in my life personally in my marriage and showing me how to be content with what He provides for not only myself but for my marriage. He has shown me to have a better attitude towards my life and to lay it all down to Him.

He lead me to this church where I’ve began a class that I pray will help me overcome my pain of past abuse. He is also working through me to help my friends and family deal with their issues.

God blesses us daily – Praise God!

God has made my spouse cancer free. God has mended broken family relationships after 8 years. God has given me good health.

God has shown me how little I have been doing to be a soul changer. I have made a list and intend to let God lead.

Lord God, forgive me for selfish, self-centered attitudes I’ve had that don’t put You first. Help me to be obedient to you. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Nothing – but I want Him to.

I did not fast, but I did pray daily. I prayed for my children, my family, my neighbors and my coworkers and also my students. I have asked God to show me opportunities to help others and serve others.  My goals in the next year are to continue to pray for others and reach out to others and to serve God. Please pray for me as I strive to be a representative for Christ in my world. It is very difficult some days, so I really need prayer.

Vocation:   As best I can discern, God’s calling me to counsel and teach, which means getting Ph.D.  A concurrent calling is to ensure these endeavors are as cross-cultural as possible.  Family:  God’s calling me to be as He is in my family – good, gentle, strong, risk-taking, service and loving to the fullest.

Jesus is working in our lives to help bring our child back to us free of addiction. I see him working in my child’s life to understand the problems and to become a productive member of this work. He is also bringing back our sons stepson – safe from Afghanistan to his wife, child and family. Thank you Jesus – please help me to think before I speak.

Increasing/Raising “Urgency” for sharing the gospel

I don’t know what God’s up to… He’s being silent. He wants me to do something but I’m not sure what.

Lord help me to do what you need me to do for your mission. Oh God, you serve all people. Thank you Lord. I love you.

After 4 ½ years of praying for God’s mercy for a family member, He answered in mercy to forgive fully and restore a broken life and is still working to repair our family.

Strengthening prayer life; develop a stronger passion for sharing Christ.  I was fasting from spending way too much time playing computer games. I learned to use the time God has provided me more constructively for him.

I just feel I am getting closer to God almighty every day.

Extreme comfort and peace and provision as I’ve grieved over the loss of my spouse. And praise that God has made the provision through Jesus Christ. And he loves me and I love him!

In this time of prayer and fasting, God has been challenging me to pray with a greater faith. He has also pointed out areas in me, previously unknown to me, where I still had unforgiveness and anger towards family members. I am grateful He has revealed this, am praying for the persons and following God as he reveals what is still in me in these matters so that I can be fully freed there. I am also asking him to teach me much more about intercessory prayer.

Clarifying the call – refocusing me and shaping my life for serving! Laying down all idols – décor, money (income & spending), my will and my pride.  I surrender all to Jesus!

Nephew, Jimmy Conrad, suffered heart attack, by-pass surgery – hole in his heart. God spared his life and he is now home starting his recovery. Praise his name!

“Your mission field is where you are” – encapsulates what God has been hitting home with me this New Year – it’s changing how I think – made me more aware of His purpose for my life.

Lord even in this, follow through is what you have laid on my heart – focus for that which you want me to do – not spread myself thin, but realize I need to work on being faithful to task – also now that my eyes are open to the hurting – show me how to reach out to them.

God has: kept me and family members sober. Blessed me with Midland Park volunteering. Helped me to stop being so judgmental – opened my heart to Him and others.  Blessed my child with a job and a bonus. Lead my child’s mate to church. Got my child away from danger or losing his soul. Health. Air. Love. Food. Home. Intelligence. Humility. Love. Giving. Mostly God has given me himself. Mental health. Optimism. Faith.

We used the time to come close as a family and to remember how important God is in our lives.

God has made himself known in so many ways during the struggles and heartaches our family is going through. Peace, strength, prayers answered. Just in awe of God, that He knows – even though I know He knows. Just making himself known is awesome and I feel so blessed He remembers me.

Jesus has shown me that I am a representative for Him in my area of influence. Also, I have learned to be more calm and patient in dealing with others. I am praying more for people I know and don’t to come to Christ.

May the Lord Jesus continue to “open my spiritual eyes” as well as my physical ones as the surgeons continue to try and fix my eyes.

God provided a wonderful new job for me.

Helped my family financially and helped my marriage.

Our Christ – Song of Life – should be sung in every situation of our life

God has been wonderful in my life and blessed me and my family beyond belief!  God has changed my life and made me a part of his family and put me in a position at church where I feel awesome to serve this church and people.

God has helped me to see that I need to trust him and all things are possible through him.

God has come to me to teach me of him. He has been teaching me forgiveness. I have felt better about my life since I have found him. I was just saved recently and since then I have found peace within me.

One thing that I have come to recognize is God’s hand on my wife and I. Things were I used to call a coincidence; I am realizing that there is no such thing. Almost every day I am seeing God’s works in us and his constant hand on us, helping us through every concern we have.  A praise to the Lord for us is within a week of surrendering our finances to God, I found a job.  I had an interview and received a job offer. And that can only be God’s divine intervention for us.

I have reached out to an old friend, reconnected with her in hopes to reconcile our relationship. Handed our finances over to God. It was out of our control. Since then, my husband received a job after 9 months. Began a prayer journal. We became members at Riverbluff. God helps me to stay calm and trust in Him when I am normally a person who stresses and worries.  I am praying and asking God to help me spread my faith to my family and helping me to bring them to Christ.

What has God done in my life lately? Become a better mother; help open up about my faith at work; realized that I need to trust Him in everything – esp. work; not stressing about the small stuff.

Has improved my marriage

My attitude; Lord give me a better attitude; help me not to complain so much and be content.

Happy for the gift of family, especially my siblings. Help me to forgive my father for his years of neglect.

This is what God has done in my life lately.  During the fast: 1)  He led me to 3 areas of sin – control and manipulation, self-pity and Lack of trust (unbelief) that I needed to confess and repent of and turn from.  2) Has allowed me to open my heart and to trust Him for complete healing.  3)  Allowed me to start hosting a Christian club at a secular school.   I also fasted from chocolate and only had 1 minor breakdown – ate 2 bites of chocolate cake but got right back on track.

It’s time for me to refocus. To no longer live in my circumstance, but to live beyond and to do and be all that God has called me to do and be.

God has continually convicted me of my sin. He has showed me that I need not to rely on my own strength to overcome those areas, but to rely on Him. Where I am weak He is strong.

God has given me: Peace – knowing my spouse is free of pain and with Christ; Health-healed my leg, my cancer operation and my forced inactivity and a 4 week bout with a bad flu; Friends – willing to bring me to church, love me and be concerned about me; Love – from family, friends, fellow Christians; Opportunities – to witness, to learn more theology, science and math; Curiosity – about the cosmos, nature, fractals, history and more; Salvation – that he keeps me thankful for; Gratitude – that enables me to do my best in all things, since it is give/or/done as, to the Lord; Courage – “If God is for you, who can be against you?” – Confidence comes by trusting Him, fearing nothing the devil or the world can throw at me.

God has caused me to become increasingly frustrated with and less interested in those areas of my life that are not truly important but occupy too much space in my mind and heart.

God has made me more aware of those that I come in contact with that are hurting in some manner. A kind word and to ask them if they have Jesus in their life helps them to know they are not alone. I ask them if I can pray with them and for them.

Made me realize I still need to work on loving others/seeing others like Jesus does. Realize we need to be always grateful for our blessings.

He has showed me I can’t be the mother and example of a Christian woman without His help. I am only a fraction of what I could be!  I am so excited to see what I can become and in turn see what my children can become.

God confirming my gift of hospitality. God confirming my gift of giving. God confirming my addiction to food. God confirming that I need to do more for Him.

Giving me courage to follow through on his leading for my career.

Family, fatherhood, intercession from me, decision, job, opportunity (network and knowledge)

He has eliminated many distractions.  Shown me hidden sins and ungodly attitudes. Freed me from years of striving. Sent messages through Scriptures that spoke truth into areas I needed truth in.  Showed me how to use my time to benefit my family and please Him.

I want Him to show me what He’s calling me to do now.

The Father has revealed to me that there is a person in my life of whom I need to ask forgiveness. I must do it face-to-face. I am eagerly waiting to see that person. May God give me the words in His perfect time.

I trust God is working in my life, I just don’t know what he is doing. For the past year and a half I have been looking for a job in Charleston so I can join my husband here. Despite my efforts, I have not even had an interview since April 2011. Now, the church I work for is doing a staff reorganization and they are making me the Communications Director. I am so excited for the opportunity to use my gifts in this new role. But why is God giving me this now? When I am trying to move? Why hasn’t God given me an opportunity in Charleston? Where my husband is enjoying this dream job? What is His purpose for the circumstances of my life? By faith, I trust that He is working, but I don’t know what he’s doing

God has reminded me that in order to be the best wife, mother and friend I can, I have to put Him first.

God has placed his healing hand/power upon me during my bladder cancer treatment. My doctor told me on January 27 – I did not expect to see you here in 2012. I thank all those who were in prayer for me during the last 5 months. At present through God’s grace I have returned to work and daily I feel his healing power, as I continue to regain strength to get me through the day. My Lord and Savior. All praise is His, who without Him I am nothing.

God has made himself known to me more than any time in my life.  Thank you Jesus!

God is working in my life by allowing me to share my faith to those who are at the end of their life by giving them hope found in Jesus.  Also working in my life about my weight. The last 8 months the Lord has helped me to lose 45 pounds – allowing me to get out of bondage from an unhealthy lifestyle

He has kept me faithful to communicate with Him and read His word daily in spite of my circumstances of traveling. He wakes me up daily to spend time with Him.

He showed me a miracle in healing my grandson, Jesse.

He has given me a wonderful husband that loves me in spite of me. Gave me great family on both sides. Lord make me more thankful!

God revealed to me that the person God has laid on my heart to share His love with has not distinguished the difference between religion and Christianity. He has shown me that I need to talk to this person about the difference between the two!

God has loved me even though I am not worthy

He has opened my eyes to show me how I am needed to minister at Midland Park

Following the prayer reminder for a day last week, I asked God to show me where he needed me to act that day. He put me into an assigned seat in a training class next to a stranger. She had previously had a long unemployment and her husband is disabled. She was about to have her car repo’d and was reaching financial desperation. Through my Financial Peace knowledge and my personal story, I was able to comfort her and show her a path to better financial stability.

God has changed my life to trust Him and to give all my worry and burden to Him, and to wait on Him. My love for Jesus is to serve Him and praise Him for the rest of my life.

God has brought my wife and me here for a reason, not just to live close to our sons and grandkids. I have been in jail/truck stop ministry; But now God must open a door of ministry for us. Pray God will lead us to his will—-a ministry of 32 years.

God has revealed the sacrifice He made for me by giving me a vivid picture of Jesus’ suffering on the cross. Then he made me aware of the hurt and pain he felt while watching the suffering Jesus went through. Then He showed me how the suffering and pain I have gone through recently is nothing comparably. This has made me to give up more of myself and take on more of Him.

God has made me aware of the beautiful blessings in my life, whether they are in the form of humans, animals, acts of kindness. Jesus has been working through me to soften my stubbornness and showing me the value of surrender.

The Lord has helped open my eyes that my behavior or decisions made when being hasty can result in dire consequences.

God has blessed me! He has provided me with opportunities in my career to advance and to plant seeds with my co-workers. He has spoken to me through others giving me wisdom and guidance. I want to serve God! I want to fulfill his calling for me!

I thank God for the opportunity of forgiveness and his love, and to share with others. I’ve loved having my “Daily Message” sent by the church through this 21 day campaign.

He has brought me back to Him.

Dear God, I would like to thank you for the work that you done in my family life, not just my core family but my church family also. You have allowed us to come together under your name for 21 days. To move out the pain, hurt in our lives and home and put in the love you have for us. You have filled our soul with love and understanding. So I would like to say thank you.

God has renewed my passion for the lost. I’m praying for a list of friends, co-workers, and neighbors to be saved and for God to provide me with opportunities to share Jesus with them. He has already provided some opportunities and I know He has already used me to draw some of them closer to Him. Praise God!

As a rule I have always thought that no matter how far I have fallen, God will pick me up. As a believer I feel that at times I have taken advantage of that. God had really put on my heart a desire to break my old habits and renew my faith in Him through true obedience.

God has been showing me He can still use me. His Holy Spirit has used me to speak for Him to a couple of people. I pray He will do this more and more in my life and any others I can encourage.

God is guiding me back to the path that I wondered away from for too long.

Awareness of knowing what God is saying – “Be still and know I am God”! Remembering to “unwind” my fast paced mind and experience more fully God’s love, greatness— and peace. This study has been rewarding!

God provided for us when times were rough. After paying bills we had only sixty dollars to last us for 2 weeks and God stretched the sixty and provided the food we needed to last for 2 weeks.

God has revealed to me how I’ve been judgmental and non-forgiving towards those who don’t yet know Him—I am now praying for them specifically.

God has done many things in my life during the seventy three years I have lived. I am having a difficult time handling something at my office in these last few weeks, but God continues to be good and gives me life one day at a time.

Dear God, Forgive me all my sin and I ask also that you heal Larry and Roland.  Thank you Jesus

I want to be more like Christ; I thank Him for what He has already done!

Newly employed after 4 months.

God is giving me a spiritual awakening and reminding me what purpose He has for me.

Praise you Lord for the gift of our home!

Made me more aware of His work all around me daily.

Brought me into a greater awareness – concern of lost friends and family members.

Grace

I am a new Christian… and the only one in my immediate and extended family as far as I know. So praying for non-believers (or pre-Christians) comes very naturally to me! But… I am a self-conscious Christ follower. So I guess it’s a pride thing. I have asked God to and feel He is working in me to open up with my faith and tell those friends and family near and far who I have become, and how my eyes have opened, and my heart softened, and my life made better because of my relationship with Jesus Christ! Why do I hesitate? Because I fear their responses…because I know how I once felt about Christians. Sad, but true. But God is pulling on me to overcome this fear!

God is: working on me with the relationship with my sister.

Lord- Thank You! You have convicted me stronger than ever before to pray for the unsaved. Lord, use me – if you need me – to reach out to them. I specifically pray for my daughter —may her faith be ignited to lead her children and husband to you. Revive & reignite my heart and all believers everyday to be your servants. I love you Jesus!

From Beth Moore – God has baptized me in the criticism of others to inoculate me from the approval of others. – Wow-  I am stronger in realizing it’s not all about me – my strength, my approval rating, my ideas – but realizing my strength is in and has been and will be in God strengthening me in any circumstance and with people who find me silly or “out of touch” with view of life. I so want to be “liked” I have a hard time with frowns and alienation – but God sends me true friends, true love, true strength. I am sad it took me 56 years and just elated to be here now.

God has just blessed me and I am thankful that He just loves and accepts me for the way I am… I know there maybe times I have not been the person He wants me to be—so, I love Jesus and I know He loves me. I’m blessed.

I tried again to mend fences with my dad. It didn’t turn out well. I want to throw in the towel, but that’s not what God wants me to do. I love my Dad still. I’m reminded by God to still do that…Love him. Why? Because my heavenly father (God) loves me and somewhere in my heart and my dad’s heart there’s still love not hate. Hurt…yes but still love.

God has put several people in my work environment that have challenged my beliefs, not in a bad way, but to actually look into the Bible and study it. It’s awesome!

Realizing that everything I have is God’s! I would not have my family, my life, job, wife and son without God’s wonderful gift. I know that He has blessed me more than I deserve and so glad He loves me unconditionally.

He has given me the wisdom to recognize what should be the most important priority in my life.

God has not given up on me, even as I chose sin.

God has shown me through this 21 day fast that I am not alone. I do not have to be mean to protect myself God is always by my side.

I have been having time with God everyday (which hasn’t happened in a long time) It was nice, refreshing and comforting. I want to serve Him and He is calling me. I hear and will do.

Gave me life, love, everything

The Lord has really blessed me with His presence. We have really been struggling financially and He was there to give me peace instead of my usual first response of worry. He gave me hope that things would work out financially. He carried us, and then answered my prayers with a new job for my husband. Through this process, I believe His lesson/teaching for us has finally “gotten through” (some people have really hard heads!) I continue to pray for spiritual growth for myself and my family. I know that this process may not be “comfortable” but I know He will answer my prayers, in His time. I am so thankful for “The Journey”, Tammy, her obedience, her time, her heart. Also, all that are involved in this study. I am thankful and blessed to be a part of this family called Riverbluff.

What God has taught me – to humbly submit myself to Him and wait on His timing. There is more to come… I need to be seeking opportunities to “witness” to those who are “pre-Christians”

He has arrested the progression of a lung disease affecting my health. Draw me close to my spouse. Shown that my troubled child is His child and He will take care of her.

Even thru difficult times, trust in Him.

God has taught me that apart from Him I can bear no fruit. I really want to bear fruit to help the world. Unless I abide in Him and grow it won’t happen. Also, that I don’t have to help the world by myself. I have been given power from above.

I really don’t know what God is showing me but I have realized during this time that I don’t spend the time in growing my relationship with God that will show me what God wants to do in my life.

Convinced me time is short; I should contribute more to missions.

God has done all things for me. I am so thankful for all He has done and going to do.

God is making me humble.

The Lord has worked in my life not to get me back to who I was before the period of “seduction” I went through but rather to make me better…teaching me to rest in Him. Knowing His forgiveness is enough but thankful for the forgiveness of my spouse. God is working to heal my heart and move me forward. Teaching me to love myself and others. Reminding me everyday all that could have been taken away by my own foolishness but also knowing my greatest blessings have been His mercy and grace.

God has helped me to become a better Christian, to see the good in everyone and to be thankful for all that I have. He has helped me to identify the greed in my heart and help me fight it.

My son Tyler received Christ. I have a new feeling of peace in my heart. I am changing. I want to serve.

God has helped me with my temper and patience.

As of this morning I didn’t think God was telling me anything but He has. He showed me I am still taking credit for His work.

Purifying me so that I may disciple others.

God is bringing me out of a period of darkness. It’s been 12 years. I’ve continued coming to church and serving Him but it’s mostly been because I should – eye service. This week the walls have come down and scripture has finally penetrated to the heart again. I feel free and full again. Praise God for His love and mercy!

I thank God for allowing me to sing in all county chorus and for showing me a way in my life that I am good at.

Although I don’t feel that I can see what God is doing in my life, I know He is with me. Sometimes I know His answer is to wait. I depend on Him and wait!

God has revealed His grace to me—sins forgiven- past, present, and future. He loves me and Jesus’ sacrifice was enough. I need to trust and obey and love Him.

He has shown me and reminded me that I have my family and that I need to put them before work.

God has blessed me with a wonderful small group of ladies. We pray for each other, we love on each other, and we are serving together- What blessing they are to me! My husband and I have begun a devotional time together and it is a time of joy and love. Thank you God. Thank you for changing us and making us yours. We owe everything to you.

God has brought me closer to Him. God has alerted me for those who yet are to be saved and it is my job to share the message with them. Thanks for being my Savior!!!

He won’t stop the fountain of goodness He has helped me to “praise Him in this storm”.

God has given me a happy, healthy, loving family. He has made me realize that family and worshipping God is way more important than clothes, shopping, or popularity.

Something we’ve come to understand through Bible study and meditating on God’s word is that LIVE spelled backwards is EVIL. So, live as Jesus taught, and still teaches through the Bible. God’s guidance and forward motion, not backwards. God provides us knowledge through; conscious awakening! Which continues to affect us so we can affect others?  And we thank God for you, Pastor Curt, and our church, our family, our friends, our fellow Christians, and our world – our life to live for God! He blesses us every day, and we try to be worthy.

To awaken and do more work in others lives.

The Lord is teaching me He is my provider. I am learning to trust Him for all my needs and I am giving Him the glory for all things. The Lord has put me in touch with a number of elderly people who are handicapped; shut-ins; and meeting their daily needs food, nourishment and a craving for a touch-physical and encouragement to go forward- with joy- and so many more adventures – the Lord is with them. God is Good!  Trying not to be stupid looking for the Lord’s leading to continue with training program for greater blessing to be able to be more able to serve. Does that make sense?

Self Evaluation – I need to live a more holy life, so I can be a better example of what the Holy Spirit does in someone’s life. I need to have my feet on only God’s side of the fence. If I walked into a room would people know I am a Christian? Then I can bring people to Christ! He has awakened me!

What had God done for me lately – slowed me down.

Guiding my way. Nudging me in the right direction with the pain and consequences my actions have cause. Allowing me to see this and given me hope. Without this I would still be lost.

God has shown me that with Him as the center of my life, everything is better because of Him!!!

It’s our commitments that shape our lives, not our choices.

God has been showing me the things I am doing are affecting the way my children are living.

God has allowed me to meet and talk with many people at my job even though I can’t support my family with this job; I feel He wants me there to witness.

God has revealed to me how far I fall short of being His disciple; the many sins in my life. He has showed me that I am His instrument and He is my strength. All I have to do is trust and obey. PTL

Brought our family to Riverbluff.

Giving me strength to help me mold and raise my children to who they deserve to be with God in their lives.

He has been there for me to lean on and talk to everyday that I call on Him, as I struggle along the best I can right now, for today, with grief and loss that I have been experiencing in my life.

God blesses me every day.

My income was drastically changed from making between 65-70,000 a year to approximately 30,000 a year. When I actually saw my tax return and how much I made- for 2011 all I could do is smile. God has kept my family covered. My mortgage was modified and the payment was lowered by $140 per month. My oldest daughter is in college at USC and tuition has been provided. I still have 2 children at home and have been able to clothe and feed them. God is why I have been able to provide. I feel that my obedience is leading to good stewardness  and my heart is overflowing with love for God.

The Lord has taught me patience.

As I went through these 21 days – I was thinking okay at the end I will be ready to witness to my neighbor —Boy! I was wrong –the “train tracks” corrected my way of thinking—I am a believer it’s my responsibility to witness every day – may God help me from this day forward.

Dear Lord, I really want to thank you for the many blessing you have done in my life. I cannot express myself enough pass the part of crying for the joy of you Lord. There are way too many to count off hand but Lord the blessings you have given me have to be recognized every time. Especially the most recent blessing which could not have been just looked over, it really was a blessing from you Lord. My car had mechanical issues and I knew that a part to my engine was going to cost a couple hundred dollars. I could not afford the price of the part but from a friend at work suggested I look in a junk yard for the part for a cheaper price. I called every junk yard in N. Charleston and none of the yards had the part I needed. I began to give up and just started to save my $ for the expensive part from the dealer instead. But out of nowhere I stumbled upon this one yard that had only one of that part I needed and they only wanted $50 for itJ. I rushed on down there picked it up and was blessed to have found that part in good condition for a great price. So then I got home and put the part on, but I heard a sound that is not normal to hear coming from the used part. I began to think that there was something defective with the part and began to look on line for a new part and hated that I was going to have to spend more wasted money. But God whispered in my ear that, that was not a good idea. So I went to my mechanic and talked to 2 different guys and they both said with a confident look that a screw was not tight enough and that was the only problem. God blessed me with getting the part at a great price and he blessed me by helping me to fix the part and not go out and waste money on another part.

This morning I had an episode I had to tell you about : Once I parked my car and started walking in to work I saw an older homeless guy going through some trash getting the aluminum cans out. I thought it was sad, but kept walking.  The farther I got the more I felt the urge to give the man $10 – and I was unsure of the amount of cash I had on me. So, I got about ½ down the block before it hit me – God was telling me to give him $10.  I turned around and crossed the street to his side and as I walked towards him I opened my wallet and first I saw a $20 and a couple of $1’s and wondered if I could ask him for change, but when I looked closer I had a $5 and 5 $1’s – exactly $10. I gave him the money and told him to get a nice hot meal, but I forgot to tell him that God put it on me to do it so it wasn’t perfect – at least I was able to hear Him and obey.  I think the fasting truly helped even though I am still not as devoted to reading the bible and other things as I should be.  My spouse and I gave up desserts and chocolate for the 21 days.  It was hard, but I wanted something that affected us both on a daily basis.  God really put the pressure on too – people were bringing in boxes of candy, caramel nut brownies, and other goodies that they haven’t done all year.  We even got coupons for free Hagen Daz sundaes (that we have to use by Tuesday).  We made it though and this morning it was really cool realizing I had heard and obeyed.  If it had happened before today I would have had something to write about yesterday, but, alas, it didn’t occur until today.  It did occur though and I knew you would like to hear it.  It’s funny – last year I was really stressed about our finances because I wanted to tithe the full 10%, but we just aren’t able to right now – we have too many bills.  God talked to me and said it was ok to tithe $200 + 10% of any bonus money to him and use the extra to pay down the bills.  We weren’t supposed to get bonuses this year, but the company earned enough so that we did (between my spouse and myself we got $3000) and then we got pay raises also.  That’s about $200 extra per month so I put the 10% of those in and will keep up with that.  It is amazing how it feels to realize He really does listen and care – I’m working on my anger, but I know he loves me in spite of who I am.   He keeps bringing that home with our child as well – our child is behaving towards us as we have been behaving towards God (defiant and angry) and I realized I still love my child – just not her actions and then you preached about it and some other things I was thinking about – on the very day I was having my thoughts.  God was answering me, through your sermons, on the very days I was questioning myself about each specific issue.  So – he obviously was helping you get ready for me before I even knew I needed it – very cool.  And I’m glad I have started to see and hear His workings more – I have been praying for that and his help getting rid of my misplaced anger at Him and other things.

The hope of America is not in our political system, our economy, our military, or our technology. It is in our God. We believe the best way to get 2012 headed in the right direction is to have a focused time of prayer for the entire church and for the church in America. So in January we’re asking you to pray and fast for spiritual awakening in the churches of America. Here are some ways you can get involved in this experience:

• Make plans to be here for the weekend services on Sundays at 9:30 and 11:00 am. Pastor Curt is preparing messages that are the Biblical basis for this prayer focus.
• Pray! A daily prayer guide will be available via blog and e-mail beginning January 9th.  Paper copies are available at the Welcome Center if you need one.
• Decide to fast during this 21-day period. Some helpful guides related to fasting are available at the blog site and in the appendix of the printed version guide.
• Attend the special prayer services planned for January 18th and 25th.
